A black hole is not sitting inside a lab in Manhattan, but some of its strangest physics just helped shape a tabletop ...

In this video I test out my new supersonic ping pong ball vacuum cannon. I show a little bit about how one of these is made ...

Applications for Global Summer School 2026 are now closed. Enjoy our packed programme of social activities and events that will show you why London deserves the title of World’s Best Student City.

Hydrogen can become a clever way to store renewable energy and power fuel cells—but this introduces the problem of what can store this hydrogen, in turn. Metal hydrides—solids that absorb hydrogen ...

Raymond Davis Jr. is dwarfed by the giant tank used by the Homestake detector in South Dakota, which first detected solar neutrinos. Creating a large enough trap for neutrinos required a tank ...

Reconstructed Wigner function of a superposition of two trisqueezed states. Its sixfold rotational symmetry and regions of Wigner negativity reveal highly non-classical quantum interference in the ion ...

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have developed a practical, comprehensive noise-modeling framework ...

Most lab-based interferometers lack the sensitivity required to pick up the elusive signal of gravity in a quantum system. In this experiment, the team's unique design successfully detected a ...

In a major breakthrough, scientists have observed electrons in graphene flowing like a nearly frictionless liquid, defying a core law of physics. This exotic quantum state not only reveals new ...

When it comes to particle physics, Tova Holmes has been there, done that and got the T-shirt – in fact, she designed the T-shirt herself. It all started back in 2022, when she and a few colleagues ...
